00:18The PKK launched its insurgency against Turkey in 1984 in an effort to establish an independent Kurdish state.

00:26The conflict spread to northern Iraq and northern Syria and saw Turkey carry out incursions into these neighboring regions.

00:35A few months ago in February, the group's leader Abdullah Öcalan, who has been in jail since 1999,

00:42urged the group to convene at a congress and formally decide to disband.

00:47Despite his imprisonment, Öcalan still holds significant influence in the Kurdish movement.

00:52The group agreed to terminate its activities as it claims it's been successful in challenging policies that sought to suppress Kurdish rights.

01:02In March, the group had already called for a ceasefire but attached certain conditions,

01:08including the creation of a legal framework for peace negotiations.
